Confidence in God’s Protection.

For the choir director; on a stringed instrument. A Psalm of David.

1 Hear my cry, O God; Give heed to my prayer.
2 From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint; Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength against the enemy.
4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever; Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance of those who fear Your name.
6 You will prolong the king’s life; His years will be as many generations.
7 He will abide before God forever; Appoint lovingkindness and truth that they may preserve him.
8 So I will sing praise to Your name forever, That I may pay my vows day by day.
